Ant Control Gillingham
A cavity wall matters enormously for mice in Gillingham's inter-war semis, and occasionally for ants too, though a garden nest is far more common.
Ant Control in Gillingham
Most ant trails in this housing stock come from an outdoor nest in garden paving or lawn edges, though occasionally a colony does establish inside a cavity wall, using the same small gaps mice use for a completely different reason.
A trail along a skirting board here usually leads back outside rather than to anything inside the wall itself.
Local pattern
Usually The Garden, Occasionally The Cavity
A survey traces the trail's direction first - most often leading outside to a garden nest, occasionally leading into a cavity wall gap instead.
Where the nest is in a cavity wall, gel bait is placed at the entry point, without needing to open up the wall.
Treatment is the same fixed approach either way - gel bait taken back to whichever nest is actually there.

We see a trail along the skirting board. Could that mean it's in the cavity wall?
Possibly, though a garden nest is more common - the survey traces the trail's direction to confirm which it is.
Do you need to open the wall if the nest is inside the cavity?
No - gel bait is placed at the entry point being used, without needing to open the cavity.
